Kate DiCamillo - May 13, 2016

I've signed us up for the Kate DiCamillo Virtual Author Event & Live Webcast on May 13 for classes that wish to participate! I'll send more information on how to access the webcast as the time draws closer but wanted to make you all aware.

DiCamillo, in her role as National Summer Reading Champion, will also talk directly to students about the importance of summer reading and encourage signs ups at local public libraries for the 2016 program “On Your Mark, Get Set, Read!” You can learn more about summer reading and Kate’s advocacy for the Collaborative Summer Library Program (CSLP) at: http://www.cslpreads.org/nationalsummerreadingchampion/

James Patterson Has a Big Plan for Small Books

VERY cool (and short) article on how James Patterson plans to get more people reading short novellas he likens to "reading movies".

Kahn Academy & Ted Talks

Both of these resources are now available in MackinVia. MackinVia is so convenient as you only have to remember one user name and password to log into all of your resources!

Questions or problems logging in? Let me know!
